Analyst: Against the backdrop of escalating macroeconomic uncertainty, institutional investors are tightening their risk exposure

On January 22, data from The Block shows U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a net outflow of $7.087 billion—their largest single-day outflow in nearly two months—while Ethereum ETFs saw a net outflow of $2.869 billion. Amid growing macroeconomic uncertainty, institutional investors further cut their risk exposure. BTC Markets crypto analyst Rachael Lucas noted Wednesday’s outflows align with typical “risk-off” behavior. She explained that when the macro environment sours—such as rising interest rates, escalating geopolitical risks, or sudden market volatility—institutional investors first pull funds from high-beta assets. This isn’t a sign of structural weakness, she added; instead, it’s institutions trimming risk exposure ahead of uncertainty, not a wholesale abandonment of crypto assets.
